Story Role

Space station and the Express

March 7th’s sense that the group has forgotten something leads her, Dan Heng, and Stelle back to an empty passage, where they find Bai Luoming unconscious. She says his name without knowing why and volunteers to help revive him 1.

After a Voidranger nearly strikes Bai Luoming, March 7th shoots it and then repeatedly beats it with Stelle’s bat. She later says she became intensely angry when she saw him in danger 3. She also helps defend the crew against the Doomsday Beast and visits Bai Luoming when he wakes in the medical bay 6 7.

Aboard the Express, March 7th helps furnish Bai Luoming’s room, takes a commemorative photograph with him, and secures his promise to treat her to a private meal at a future stop 18.

Jarilo-VI and Belobog

March 7th and Dan Heng lead Stelle and Bai Luoming’s expedition to Jarilo-VI 24. In Belobog, March 7th buys a camera charm after Bai Luoming negotiates an exchange for the local currency. She later explains to Seele that Bronya sent the group to seek the Underworld’s cooperation 32 33 40.

March 7th votes to go to the Luofu because she cannot ignore the possibility that innocent people may suffer 83. At Returnstar Harbor, she helps the Cloud Knights fight the Borisin.
